Mettaa, Bryan

Dear Frank,

DPR is very useful in its own, with a but more fine-tuning. I like the
cross-reference with PED and DPPN. With more fine-tuning, esp with PTS
refences, DPR will be ideal.

I still find CSCD 4 useful for two reasons:

(1) easy to locate occurrences of word and phrases (as a concordance).

(2) PTS references are available.

With metta,

Piya
